The weakest and most commonly injured ligament in the ankle is the anterior talofibular ligament. This is a lateral ligament, which means it consists of a band of connective tissue and is located on the outside of the ankle. It is near the posterior talofibular ligament.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S93. 492A became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S93.
Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament (ATFL)
ICD-10 Code for Sprain of unspecified ligament of right ankle, initial encounter- S93. 401A- Codify by AAPC.
The anterior tibiofibular ligament located deep within the leg, near the ankle. This ligament holds the two bones of the lower leg – the tibia and fibula – together. This is a very common place for people to injure themselves.
439A.
The anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament is a flat, strong ligament (Figure 1). It originates from the longitudinal tubercle on the anterior aspect of the lateral malleolus, and the fibers course superiorly and medially, attaching on the anterolateral tubercle of the tibia.
Posterior talofibular ligament. The posterior talofibular ligament originates from the malleolar fossa, located on the medial surface of the lateral malleolus, coursing almost horizontally to insert in the posterolateral talus.
The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), which connects the front of the talus bone to a long bone in the lower leg called the fibula.
ICD-10 | Sprain of ankle (S93. 4)
Two of these – the anterior talofibular ligament, and the posterior talofibular ligament- attach to the talus. The third calcaneofibular ligament attaches to the calcaneus, or heel bone. These ligaments give the ankle lateral support and stability.

The ICD code S934 is used to code Sprained ankle. A sprained ankle, also known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, floppy ankle, ankle injury or ankle ligament injury, is a common medical condition where one or more of the ligaments of the ankle is torn or partially torn. Specialty:
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S93.439A and a single ICD9 code, 845.03 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
The most commonly "sprained" ligament of the ankle is the Talo-fibular ligament, which for some bizarre reason in ICD-10 is not listed a "specified" ligament in the Ankle Sprain Code Set, so it has to be allocated to "Other" (i.e. "none of the above"). As for the "swelling" of the ankle, the Alphabetical Index of Diseases refers "Joint Swelling" ...
As for the "swelling" of the ankle, the Alphabetical Index of Diseases refers "Joint Swelling" to Effusion of the joint. Also, "Edema" of the ankle refers to Effusion of the joint. Unfortunately, most residual ankle swelling from previous injury is in the extra-articular soft tissues (edema) and not intra-articular (effusion).
